Summary: "But I'm a BUSINESSWOMAN"
Review: Self-serving, Self-righteous, Self-promoting. Sums it up in a nutshell. First of all, no pictures. "True Life" books require pictures and Sidney couldn't even spare a few of herself? Further, the book is a shameless self-promotion by a woman who broke the law and committed illegal acts. Sidney takes great pains to point out throughout the book that SHE never met any of the men and that SHE doesn't believe in gratuitous sex yet she freely peddles the young flesh of her "girls" without a second though in her quest for the almighty dollar. What about going to college and getting a real job? She had the means...shame shame!! Sidney also repeatedly tells us that prostitution is a "victimless crime" yet tells of an incident where twice there was an outbreak of a virulent STD being passed among her hookers and the johns, none of whom used condoms for safety. I'm sure the wives of those 100+ infected or exposed men would beg to differ with Ms. Biddle-Barrows that there are no victims of her crimes! As Ms. Barrows was arrested and tried in the early to mid 1980's AIDS wasn't as "known" as it is today. Victimless? What did these "young ladies" aka "HOOKERS" pass along or pick up aside from Gonorrhea? How many beautiful and healthy young girls did Sidney kill in order to earn a few dollars and to have a nice wardrobe of designer clothes? How many innocent and unknowing wives were infected? How many had children and passed the AIDS virus along? None? One? Ten? One is too many and we'll obviously never know the extent of the sexual havoc Ms. Biddle wreaked on New York and further in her hapless "business" venture. Ms. Biddle of course plays up her "Mayflower" and "high class" breeding but in actuality she is the worst kind of low-class trailer trash. Lacking the courage,conviction and chutzpah to embark on a career in "entertainment" herself she instead sold the bodies and in the end the souls of our young people, girls who were young, naive and easily used for profit. Ms. Biddle is an unusual example of a classic sociopath. She has no concience or moral values, not a single true thought for others, just for herself and her wallet. Not the worst book I've ever read, it was an easy and quick read....just nauseating in content.

Summary: "But I'm a BUSINESSWOMAN"
Review: Sidney Biddle Barrows was groomed to be a people person all her life and, because of it, took the prostitution biz to the next level. She saw what was wrong with the industry and fixed it, big time. As I read through the descriptions of excellent client relations that her service, Cache, provided; I found myself wishing my name was in the little black book. In addition to reading about an interesting illegal business (which really shouldn't be), the book also fills the reader with vivid imagery of NYC in the early and mid 1980's. The best book on the interworkings of the flesh-trade I've ever read.

Summary: future of prostitution
Review: This book clearly etablishes that prostituion fgr women need not be a degrading profession. As the Madam has suggested women could beenift from being prosituites. They receive a crash course in dealing with the male sex without sacificing their sense of femininity. The book is written without a hint of apology. Plus this book is brilliant in exploring reasons men use prostitutes. This book is a must for any woman who wants to understand men.
